Caution: If a chemical cleaner is used, be sure it is safe to use on cast aluminum. Observe all precautions and warnings on the
product label.

Note: To ensure proper steaming characteristics, some calcium/mineral deposits must be present on the Generator surface. If,
during cleaning, the surface does become free of calcium/mineral deposits, add plain tap water to the surface and allow it to
boil off. If necessary, repeat this process to formulate a thin coating of calcium/mineral deposits.

Note: In soft water areas, it may be necessary to add a small amount of lime to the Generator surface to season it. This will
ensure proper steaming characteristics by producing a thin coating of calcium/mineral deposits on the Generator surface.

Seasoning mixture consists of ¾ ounce baking soda, ¾ ounce lime mixed with 1 quart of water. Stir mixture and pour ¼” deep
onto the hot Generator surface. After mixture is converted to steam, the remaining loose powder can be removed.
